Snow fell densely from the pitch-black night sky, making it all white as far as the eye could see. Even if someone was standing one meter in front of you, you wouldn't be able to see them. One could imagine the visibility.
The heart of many people was filled with fear. They believed that this was the sign of the end of the world. Even the rare heavy snow of last year couldn't be compared to this. Yes, if this snowstorm continued for several days and nights, then perhaps no living creature could be found in the surroundings of Soaring Dragon City.
It was already late at night, but the imperial guards on duty were gathered in groups of three to five in a dark place. They were drinking and chatting. Was there a need to patrol in this damned weather? Other than the corridor, there were no other places to take shelter. When they stepped on the snow, the snow would reach their thighs. As a result, these imperial guards listened to Long Zhan's order in one ear and out the other. They didn't believe that there would be any problem in such a big snowstorm.
At this moment, in the imperial study of the imperial palace, a wall silently slid open, revealing the entrance of a secret room. A figure suddenly appeared and more than ten people wearing ragged clothes appeared in the imperial study. They were of different ages. There were old men who were over seventy years old and there were also robust men who were over forty years old. However, they all had one thing in common, that was, their entire body was covered with a bloody aura. Their eyes flashed with tyranny and a crazy desire for freedom.
In the past, these people had an illustrious reputation in the Dragon Empire and even the entire Blue Waves Continent. Their names could make people's complexion change. They had the effect of stopping children from crying at night. Each of their hands was stained with blood. The number of people they had killed was innumerable. Their strength belonged to the top of the continent. Especially after they were imprisoned in the Heaven Forbidden Prison, they had nothing to do. Other than cultivating, they couldn't find any other way to relieve their loneliness. As a result, their current strength was much higher than before. They were the most suitable vanguard.
The door of the imperial study suddenly burst open with a bang, and a haggard old man with white hair leaped out like lightning. He attacked the two eunuchs who were on night watch with both hands. Two screams were abruptly cut off. The old man held two heads in his hands, and the blood that spurted out from the two eunuchs' necks sprayed all over his body.
"Hahaha, I haven't tasted blood for a long time. This is truly a nostalgic feeling." The old man laughed wildly. He stuck out his tongue and licked the drops of blood at the corner of his mouth. He was so excited that it was as if he had eaten several kilograms of aphrodisiac.
"Old brat, you're too mean. Why do you only care about eating alone?" A middle-aged man with a scar on his face said in dissatisfaction. He had been locked up in the Heaven Forbidden Prison for nearly ten years. In the past, all he did was kill people and plunder their goods. Moreover, the more difficult it was, the more interested he was in it. Long Zhan fancied his strength. However, this person was stubborn and refused to submit no matter what. As a result, he was thrown into the Heaven Forbidden Prison.
"Scarface. If we weren't on the same side, this old man would've dug out your heart and eaten it with wine. "The old man snorted coldly.
"What's with the ruckus? Are you afraid that no one will kill you? I'm just afraid that when the time comes, your hands will go limp. "A strange voice rang out. This person's face was covered by long, dirty hair. He couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman. His stature was also very weak, but a single sentence from him was enough to make the two of them arrogant. The arrogant guy obediently shut his mouth.
At this time, several groups of patrolling guards were rushing over. Just a moment ago, the screams of those two eunuchs had already attracted their attention.
When they saw that someone had delivered themselves to their doorstep, these bloodthirsty maniacs revealed excited faces. They cried out loudly as they charged over. Other than leaving behind a few miserable screams, these few patrol teams had turned into minced meat on the ground. The brightly colored intestines and internal organs, as well as those severed hands and legs, looked extremely bloody and terrifying. Even those old soldiers who had seen blood before would likely retch continuously if they saw such a scene. Actually, dead people were not scary. However, to die in such a manner had somewhat exceeded the psychological endurance of people.
A sharp alarm resounded in the sky above the imperial palace and more and more prisoners of the Heaven Forbidden Prison rushed out from the secret passage of the imperial study.
Long Zhan had never expected that the war would start from the inside of the imperial palace. He had practically gathered all his troops around the walls of the imperial palace. As a result, the center of the imperial palace was empty.
The imperial palace was very big. Due to the lack of timely reinforcements, the 6,000 prisoners of the Heaven Forbidden Prison massacred everyone in the imperial palace in a short period of time. Corpses were everywhere and blood flowed like a river. Even the deep white snow was dyed dark red.
When Long Zhan received this news, he was dumbfounded all of a sudden. He had already had a premonition that something would happen tonight. However, he didn't expect that the enemy wouldn't attack from outside. Instead, they would attack from inside the imperial palace. Their methods were so cruel that it made one's blood boil.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subordinate has already investigated. Those people aren't the army of the Ximen Clan. They seem to have escaped from the Heaven Forbidden Prison."
Long Zhan's confidant ran over and reported while gasping for breath.
Bang, Long Zhan smashed the table in front of him into pieces and his ruthless face distorted. Gritting his teeth, he coldly said, "What a good scheme! Do you think that this motley crew can play any role?"
The imperial palace was already in chaos. No matter if it was the imperial maids, eunuchs, imperial concubines, or nobles, all of them were fleeing in panic.
Tens of thousands of imperial guards and several magicians finally managed to block the crazed prisoners. Countless magic arrows were shot towards these powerful prisoners like a swarm of locusts. All of a sudden, there were many casualties.
"Swords Masters attack from the outside while Magicians attack from the inside. Kill them all!" That strange voice commanded. These prisoners were obedient and they quickly arranged themselves into a regular formation. They rushed towards the soldiers with thick shields and armors.
The person in the lead was that androgynous fellow. Don't look at his frail body. He brandished his purple sword and instantly reaped the lives of dozens of soldiers. At the same time, this clearly showed the strength of a Swords Saint.
"World of Ice and Snow."
"Raging Flames Burning Heaven."
"Heaven Falls and Earth Rends."
Three rank ten magic spells smashed towards the imperial guards almost at the same time. The powerful destructive power of these magic spells nearly cleared out the heavy infantry in front of them. The terrifying attack power of magicians was vividly displayed at this moment. As long as magicians were given enough time to chant incantations, a Great Swords Master could only face a Master Magician.
However, at this time, more and more reinforcements arrived. The number of magicians in the imperial palace was also increasing. As a result, a large number of casualties began to appear among the prisoners. Moreover, although the rank of the magicians in the imperial palace was generally lower than the rank of the magicians among the prisoners, the gap in quality could be made up for with quantity. When they fused their magic power to cast a barrier that was enough to resist the attack of the enemy, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
At this moment, the sky was already bright. The night had already quietly passed. No one knew when, but the blizzard had already stopped. At this moment, out of the original six thousand prisoners, only three hundred remained. They were bitterly holding on. However, the imperial guards also didn't dare to slack off. That was because the survivors of this tragic war were all powerful experts. If they allowed them to seize the opportunity to counterattack, then their losses would increase exponentially.
"End the battle." Long Zhan frowned and issued an order. These mere six thousand prisoners not only killed more than ten thousand of his imperial guards, they also pinned down the majority of his troops and magician battalion. Now, the sky was already bright and the snow had also stopped. He was afraid that the Ximen Clan would take advantage of this opportunity to attack.
"Everyone, hold on. As long as you hold on for a little while, freedom will not be far away from us." That androgynous Swords Saint encouraged in a sharp voice.
"Even if this father can hold on for ten days to half a month, it will not be a problem. Hey, old boy, can you still hold on?" The face of the scarred man was sweating. However, he stubbornly held on and teased the old man who was also sweating profusely.
"When this old man became famous, you were still drinking milk. Take care of yourself." The old man said while gasping for breath.
At that time, two magic signals soared into the sky from the east and west sides of the imperial palace. The heart of Long Zhan tightened. As expected, the Ximen Clan was taking advantage of this opportunity to attack. Why hadn't the Dark Church arrived yet?
The magic signals made all the officers and soldiers who were besieging the prisoners somewhat restless. For a moment, their defense and attack became somewhat chaotic.
"This is the time." That androgynous Swords Saint thought in his heart. In an instant, a golden ring on his hand emitted a dazzling radiance. Then, he let out a sharp whistle and a gust of wind blew. His appearance made everyone retreat two steps in shock. The appearance of the scarred man was ugly, but at least, it was still acceptable. As for this Swords Saint, his entire face seemed as if it had been hardened.
Just when everyone was shocked, a layer of faint golden light appeared all over the body of this Swords Saint. Then, the douqi on his huge sword unexpectedly changed from purple to golden in an instant. In other words, he had completed the leap from Swords Saint to Swords God in an instant.
"Swords God's Strike." This Swords Saint suddenly turned into a dazzling golden light and collided with the magic barrier of the imperial guards.
This barrier violently distorted, and soon after that, cracks rapidly spread all around. After that, the barrier dissipated in the air.
The moment the enchantment shattered, the remaining experts rushed into the neatly arranged infantry phalanx like wolves or sheep, and began a bloody massacre.
